Configuration Alternatives
Besides the HTML forms and software provided, the Ethernet
Interface internal command shell, npsh, can also be reached using
Telnet and Remote Shell, and FTP.
Telnet
A TCP/IP command that helps configure Ethernet Interface settings
remotely. A TCP/IP host starts a Telnet session with the print
server and logs into the device command shell to alter and view
settings.
Example:
telnet 192.75.11.9
Remote Shell
A TCP/IP command that helps configure print server settings
remotely. A TCP/IP host uses this command to remotely execute a
single command on the Ethernet Interface.
Example:
rsh spike list prn
This command remotely executes the npsh command list prn
on the Ethernet Interface named
spike
.
FTP
FTP can also be used to configure print server settings remotely. A
TCP/IP host uses FTP to store a file containing 1 or more NPSH
commands on the FTP file system. The configuration file must be
FTP ‘put’ to the /config/default/defaultCfg file. The configuration file
can later be executed on demand using the ‘load oem’ command
during a telnet (NPSH) session. The configuration file is also
executed automatically during the power-up sequence when DIP
switch 1 is closed.
